The ninth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band returned again for their ninth album.
Simen Hestnes returned again on bass and clean vocals after a short but busy stint in Dimmu Borgir. And that was the big news before the band went into studio to record this album.
After their 2006 folk rock album Origin, the band returned to their progressive black metal roots again on the follow up album Universal from 2010.
That is also the music we get on the one hour long follow up album to that album. Progressive epic black metal. There is surpringly little black metal vocals and shredding here.
Most of the album has got some more normal vocals. The music is epic mid-tempo extreme metal with a lot of progressive rock elements.
The music is decent to good. There is no really outstanding track here and that is a shame and a major gripe against this album. Besides of that gripe, this is not a bad album at all.
2.5 points
